Idk I find my job/ career super boring. It’s annoying bc my benefits are fairly good for what I do so just quitting and taking a much lower paying job seems bonkers. Idk maybe I’ll just apply for similar jobs in vegas to be able to live well out there if I ever do move.
Idk I’m in the northeast- having to drive 4-5 hours for mtt series can be quite obnoxious. Also flying to vegas for 1-2 weeks to play some live mtts also gets super obnoxious.
I left the tech world at age 45. Didn't have my full nest egg yet, but figured if I could make ends meet from poker, my investments would grow to where they need to be by age 60. At worst, poker would just be a 1 or 2 year sabbatical, then go back to the real world. This was 6.5 years ago.
My advice would be to save and invest while you are young. Poker will always be there. If I get sick of poker before my nest egg grows, then I can get a temp or part time gig. No more corporate rat race for me.
